PHP 7 Audit - WPMU DEV Dashboard

Hello,

I am preparing to move my site to a server using PHP7 and ran an audit on all my plugins and themes to help better ensure compatibility with PHP7. Below you will find the results of ERRORS and WARNINGS that came back for the WPMU DEV Dashboard Plugin. Any thoughts on whether these should be addressed prior to me moving to PHP 7 server?

Thanks

Thanks for asking. The old functions are still there for backward compatibility. For example, WPMU DEV Dashboard has to still work for older versions of php where servers don't have the mysqli
extension. DEV Dashboard plugin will use the newer extension if it is available and should not cause any error in php7.

So you can ignore these warnings in my opinion. Please let us know if you face any problem in using DEV Dashboard plugin in your PHP 7 server. We will be glad to investigate that and provide you the solution.
